Wow, we've all seen the 18 wheeler motif, but this is the first dirt biker memorial I've seen. It's too old to be for Ox, right?dtbushpilot - 4-10-2013 at 07:22 AM
Can't make out the name but it looks like the date is 2007. I'm sure some Nomad dirt biker will know the story....Bajaboy - 4-10-2013 at 10:29 AM
I'm surprised more people have not seen this marker. It's on the Pacific.shari - 4-10-2013 at 05:48 PM
this might be where our amigo Richy missed a turn and crashed his bike...such a sad loss as he was a fun guy...between Pta.Prieta and Asuncion??? I've
never seen this cross though???vgabndo - 4-10-2013 at 05:50 PM
I think I read Ricardo Villa on the marker. Sounds like you may have it Shari.Bajaboy - 4-10-2013 at 06:00 PM

Got this pic from a Nomad who saw this post and asked that I post a pic in honor of his compadre

Des died of a heart attack while participating in a motorcycle Enduro race in the Tecate/Rancho Neji area. He was a great guy and a good ambassador
for Baja and off road motorcyclists.
There are two of these memorials, one on the El Compadre road and another near where he died.
